Developing a Networked School Community: A Guide to Realising the Vision examines the next phase of schooling - the development of networked school communities. Already, there are pathfinding schools that have moved from the traditional paper-based form to become digital schools. Many of these schools understand the new and rich learning and teaching opportunities which become possible when they 'dismantle their traditional school walls', and use their networks to connect with their homes and the wider community. This book examines and provides guidance for how your school can realise these potentially immense opportunities. It proposes a model that enables various approaches to build on the current reality, and capitalise upon the growing digital capacity of the home and the largely unharnessed 'teaching' capacity of the parents. It encourages the creation of a strengthened home - school nexus that can build collaboration and markedly improve student attainment. The book explores a future model of schooling that integrates the 'teaching' of the parents, and the burgeoning digital skills of the young, with schools that make astute use of their digital technology. It provides guidance for how your school can begin working collaboratively with students' homes and commence the shift to the networked mode immediately. Developing a Networked School Community is intended for anyone interested in improving the quality, relevance and effectiveness of schools. This includes parents, students, politicians and the wider community, as well as principals, teachers and other educational professionals. The reader will envision the teaching and learning opportunities enabled by a very different and exciting networked mode of schooling, and which the authors believe will provide very significant outcomes for all interested in educating young people to successfully participate in their digital futures.
